Football wasn't designed to be played in February.

Ya got that right, Ditto!
Nothing wrong with playing in the sleet and snow, of course...
but ideally, the field should still be slushy mud, not froze hard as a rock...
And put those goal posts back on the goal line where they belong.

I like tradition as much as the next guy, but I also don't want to see these modern kickers scoring three points from their own territory. Personally, I'd move the posts back another 10 yards if I could. If an offense can't get the ball inside the opponent's 30 yard line, they don't deserve to score.

I also hate the NFLs sudden death overtime rule. Sixty minutes of good head butting football settled by a coin flip and a 50 yard kick from some pencil neck soccer player without the other team even getting a chance to touch the ball. That sucks. They should adopt the NCAA overtime rules.
